Smuggling Daming

"Bah~" In the study of a big house in the east of Songjiang City, the dark and fat Master Song slammed a piece of paper on the table and roared loudly: "It's too much to bully people, can the government do whatever they want?" ?”

Seeing his father's angry look, Second Young Master Song carefully looked at his father and did not dare to speak.Before the government sent someone to inform them that a monument of meritorious deeds would be built outside the city, and the names and donation amounts of all donors would be engraved on it. The paper on the table that his father took was also sent along with it. The donors to be engraved on the stone tablet are arranged according to the amount of donations. The Song family only donated ten taels of silver, which is the bottom of all donors.

Even though Mr. Song is dark and fat, he looks stupid, but he is actually a very shrewd person, otherwise he would not have accumulated such a large family fortune.When he first received the notice from the government, he immediately understood what the government was up to. It was nothing more than using this method to force them to donate money. On, then their father and son will really be ashamed to face others.

But even if you understand this matter, so what?The meritorious monument is a conspiracy. It can be said that they are about to take money out of their pockets. Unless Master Song is really trying not to get rid of his old face, he has to give the money obediently, even if the government If he didn't accept it, he would have to lick his face and cry and make people accept the money.

Thinking of this, Master Song couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. He sat down on the chair angrily, his fat chest swelled and panted heavily, his two small eyes rolled around, and he seemed to be weighing this matter gains and losses.

"Father, it seems that the government is determined to take money from us this time, so why don't we donate more!" Seeing that his father's anger finally subsided, the second son of Song acted boldly Proposed.

Master Song didn't immediately pay attention to his son's words. He still sat there contemplating for a while, and finally slapped the table and turned his anger into joy and said: "Donate! Of course you have to donate, and you have to donate more than others. You go and inform accountant, ask them to donate 2000 taels of silver!"

"Two... 2000 taels?" The second son of the Song Dynasty almost jumped up when he heard this. The last time their Song family was tricked by Zhou Zhong, the business shrank by half, and the family's income also dropped sharply. Even in the past, 2000 taels Two is not a small sum, not to mention the time when the family is short of money.

Seeing his son's fuss, Mr. Song gave him a hard look, and then cursed with some hatred: "Stupid! The main reason why our Song family's business has been affected is because of that kid Zhou Zhong. The treacherous scheme has damaged the reputation of the family, and many weavers are unwilling to sell us cloth. During this time, I have been worrying about how to restore the reputation of our Song family, but God suddenly sent me such a good opportunity!"

The second son of the Song Dynasty also suddenly realized when he heard this: "I understand, so father, you want to take this opportunity to regain the lost reputation of our Song family. The business has recovered, the absolute value of the money spent!"

Seeing that his son finally understood what he meant, Master Song couldn't help showing a smug smile. Just now he was heartbroken about the money he donated, but suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and thought of this way to turn a bad thing into a good one.The Li family, which has donated the most money now, only donated 800 taels. Once my 2000 taels of silver are paid out, it will definitely be ranked first in the merit monument. From the Song family's point of view, in the future, if I spend more time on the surface, I won't worry about getting back my lost prestige!

Thinking of this, Master Song finally showed a long-lost smile on his black and fat face, but then he thought of Zhou Zhong who made their Song family miserable, which made Master Song's expression change immediately, and he said through gritted teeth: "Zhou Zhong Son, you caused our Song family's business to suffer, and this old man will pay you back a hundredfold in the future!"

It's a pity that Master Song didn't know that the idea of ​​erecting a monument of meritorious deeds came from Zhou Zhong, and it was this wicked method that allowed the Song family to pay for some prestige, and the business also recovered. After Zhou Zhong knew about it, In his heart, he regretted endlessly, and he didn't expect that his unintentional action would actually help the Song family.

As soon as the majestic conspiracy of the merit monument came out, those rich and popular people who were unwilling to donate money scolded the magistrate Xu for his lack of virtue, but no matter how angry they were, they couldn't think of a way to deal with it.Either ask for money?There are only two options available, and in the end everyone has to choose the path of donating money to protect their names. After all, people have a face, and they don't lack that little money.

Of course, they don't need to spend money to buy fame like the Song family, so the additional donations in the future cannot be as crazy as the Song family. It is very generous.

A few days later, Zhou Zhong got news from Xu Shenzhong that, except for the generous families such as the Wang family, Li family, and Xie family who had already donated a large amount of money, almost all the other rich people made additional donations. After statistics, the second addition Zhou Zhong couldn't help sighing that there are so many local tyrants in Songjiang Mansion, and a single donation can get so much money. If all the money is given to him, I'm afraid he won't have to worry about it for the rest of his life. Eat and drink.It's a pity that the money was to help the victims of the disaster. Even if it was really given to Zhou Zhong, I'm afraid he wouldn't dare to accept it. It's better to spend the money he earned with peace of mind.

This afternoon Zhou Zhong finished writing Journey to the West again. Since he sold Journey to the West to Xie Lingyun last time, he made a plan for himself, that is, to write Journey to the West every morning, afternoon and evening. He has already written thirty chapters, so when he wrote the remaining seventy chapters, it happened to be the end of November, although it was agreed that he would hand over the first half of the manuscript to Xie Lingyun at the end of the month. , but if you hand in the manuscript earlier, you can get all the money earlier, and you will have a more relaxed year then.

Ever since the victims arrived in Songjiang, God seems to have deliberately made things difficult for these hard-fated refugees. It has been cloudy for several days in a row, with the north wind blowing non-stop, and the sky is so gloomy that it seems that it will snow at any time.Fortunately, God still has a merciful heart. The snow has not yet fallen, which also gave the victims a chance to breathe, and a simple camp for the victims was set up outside the city.

Early this morning, the sky became more gloomy and even though the north wind had stopped, it was extremely cold. During this period of time, Butler Xu’s storytelling income and the deposit for the manuscript made him loose at hand, so he went to Aunt Wang, Steward Liu and his own room had stoves up, especially since he had to write frequently, without a stove even the tip of his pen would be frozen, let alone writing.

After finishing today's manuscript, Zhou Zhong poured some water from the kettle on the stove next to him, washed and hung up the brush, stretched himself, put on a cotton coat and opened the door to have a look.

"Huh? It's snowing!" At this moment, Zhou Zhong suddenly realized that pieces of snowflakes were flying outside the eaves, like lively elves chasing each other in mid-air.A thin layer of snow has also fallen on the ground, covering up the original color of this world, and it looks silvery white, which looks extremely holy.

In his previous life, Zhou Zhong was a northerner. He liked snow since he was a child, because when it snowed, he could have snowball fights and make snowmen. However, seeing the heavy snow now, he couldn’t help sighing secretly. There are more than 2 disaster victims living outside the city. In Lufeng's simple hut, although Xu Zhifu has tried his best to help the victims, but after the snow falls, the life of the victims will be even more difficult.

Thinking of the situation of the victims outside the city, Zhou Zhong's originally good mood turned into a bad mood, and he didn't want to stay in the house anymore, so he put on his clothes, took an oil-paper umbrella, and walked out of his yard.

As soon as he got out of the gate of the yard, Zhou Zhong heard Duo'er's laughter like silver bells from Aunt Wang's across the yard, mixed with the white ball's cry of "Wow, woof, woof".Hearing the innocent laughter of the little girl, Zhou Zhong also felt that his heavy mood had improved, so he turned and walked towards Aunt Wang's yard.

Before entering the yard, Zhou Zhong saw through the open gate that the plump white ball in front was running fast with four short legs, and Duo'er in a red cotton coat was chasing after him with a silver bell-like smile, sometimes Accidentally slipped and fell, but she didn't care at all, she got up smiling and patted off the snowflakes on her body and continued to chase.Judging by her flushed face, she must have been playing in the snow for a long time.

Seeing Duo'er happy, Zhou Zhong finally put aside all the heaviness in his heart, and walked into the yard excitedly. He wanted to play with Duo'er, but when the white ball running ahead saw Zhou Zhong, he immediately uttered "Woo~" With a bang, he quickly got into the room with his tail between his legs. This guy has a psychological shadow on Zhou Zhong. As long as it is where Zhou Zhong appears, he can hide as far away as possible.

"Brother, come and play with Duo'er, it's snowing today, it's fun!" Duo'er also saw Zhou Zhong at this moment, jumped up happily, and ran towards Zhou Zhong while shouting.

Zhou Zhong was worried that Duo'er would slip again, so he hurriedly took a few steps, then picked up Duo'er and laughed loudly: "Little girl, run slowly, since you want to play with brother, why didn't you go to me just now? Didn't you just focus on playing with yourself and forget about your brother?"

"Where is it?" Duo'er pouted her cute little mouth and said, "I wanted to find my brother when it first snowed, but my sister said that my brother was busy and told me not to disturb my brother's writing, so I could only talk to him. Play with the white ball."

After hearing this, Zhou Zhong smiled again, hugged Duo'er in the snow for a few laps, then teased her a few more words, which made the little Lolita giggle, and finally Zhou Zhong looked at the empty yard and said: " Duo'er, why are you alone, where did Auntie and Biao'er go?"
